So the vs eliminate each other which leaves the ws and the 1,7. Then you add the 2 ws to get 2w and then add the numbers to get 2w=8, then divide 8 by 2 and you get w=4
E
2x - 48 = 10x
-2x -2x
-48 = 8x
/8 /8
-6 = x
if you move all of your x's on to the same side it is easier to solve
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given




Required
Determine their next meeting time
First, we need to get their unit rate in minutes per round


Convert 360 seconds to minutes



Divide by 2/2

So, we have:



Next, is to determine the LCM of 18, 6 and 2



Their LCM is:


This means that they will meet 18 minutes after their initial time of departure.
So:


6 gallons in 4 1/2 seconds to travel 1/4 mile
Multiply through by 4
-------
The dragster will :
use 24 gallons in 18 seconds to travel 1 mile.
